Phylogeography of the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis throughout the United States identifies candidate loci for differences in vectorial capacity

2022-08-23

Abstract excerpt

The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is a vector of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.), the causative agent of Lyme disease, part of a slow-moving epidemic of Lyme borreliosis spreading across the northern hemisphere. There are well-known geographic differences in the vectorial capacity of these ticks associated with genetic variation. Despite the need for detailed genetic information in this disease sy...
